The term "blue stockings" has been SO
often applied to women of literary &C.
| quIrements, that the sex has become sen
sltiVe to it, while men have pinned theil
faith to the doctrine that high mental at.
| tainments and domesticity are soincom-
! patible, as to believe that in selecting 8
wife they must choose between the two
! If the epithet be in any sence opprobrious
readers of history will remember it origi-
mated in the days Of DR.. Johnson and the
offending color of hose was worn by q
male member of the club, thus giving
name to the "Blue Stocking Club
famous alike for is learned men and it's
brilliant women, women aga 'nst whom
the charge of want of domestic
qualities cannot be made.
Who poured the innumerable cups OF
tea for the profound Doctor more grace
fully than pretty Fanny Burney? Who
well fulfilled the duties OF
housekeeper and hostess in
her fathers hospitable home and
who in after years as Madame D'Arblay
gave to the world such charming remi-
niscences of these pleasant evenings and
took front rank among the novelists of
that period.
Mrs. Montagu, at whose house this
celebrated club had its headquarters,
distinguished for wealth, ambition and
literary talent, found time for deeds of
philanthropy, and for minute and care
full ordering of her household, looking
closely after her servants and the ex-
penditures of large establishment.
Mrs. Thrale, for whom the great Iexico-
grapher had so warm q friendship, was an
euthoress of no mean attachments, and
yet, would the man of letters have lin
gered there If the house had not been in
wiling or the meals i'll appointed?
It is perfectly fair to pre-
sumo not, especially as writer
of books has declared that
without these q man may live, but there is
no life without cooks. With such coterle,
no woman need object to being classified
and the charge of bIue-stockingism will
fall harmless when memory calls up the
long array of familiar names of women
true to the duties of their peculiar sphere
and yet well known in the world of lit
erary attsinments and scientific research.
II is not education in wives that men
should fear, but the want CT it The one
thing to be dreaded is superfcislity-sn
education looking merely to display, q
drilling that fits only for the parlor, or
disregarding the demands of ,womsn's
sphere gives no attention to that training
and discipline which will qualify her for
the duties of her peculiar office.
Ii the idea could once De forced into
the heads of educators, both public and
private, that girls were to be the
future women and that the object of
education tor them was not TO enter
them upon mans sphere, there might be
some hope that efforts would be made in
the direction of the household, and in the
poor mans cottage, Is well as in the.
more ambitious home of the rich, the benz
efcial results from such lessons would
be speedily made manifest.

TEE Wichita Eagle thinks a man
who ID in the legitimate drug business
can't AFFORD to sell one drop of liquor
under the Murray law. All of its pro-
visions are humiliating and degrading
to the mind Of any honorable or right
thinking man. The law holds every
druggist to be depraved william, desti-
tute Of decency and devoid of iudg-
ment.-Junction City Union.
The law simply holds the druggist to
z strict accountability. He has one of
two things to do-Obey it or lay in the
county Jail. He can pay his money
and take his choice. The law doesn't
provide that druggist must be ''de-
PRAYED william" but it very clearly
specifies that if he makes ''depraved
william" out Of himself then he and the
lookup for it, and that's the long and
short Of it.
OF course it was expected that George
Martin would oppose the Murray bill.
To get his regular nip he must either
be actually sick or else he must perjure
himself, and we all know he is enjoying
excellent health.
The Capital has no Gght with George,
because we thoroughly understand the
situation, but he can't prevent us from
feeling sorry for him.-Capital.

Senator Plumb has sent to Mr.. Wild
er copy of the official state seal of
Spain, in use at the time of 1541, when
the Spaniars first came to Kansas. He
also sent copy of the seal of France,
in use at the time of the Louisiana
purchase. The seal is copied from the
deed of cession. Bonaparte, it will be
remembered, was then first consul of
France. These seals Senator Plumb
submitted to designer in Washington
city, who made a new seal consisting
of these two with the present state
seal of Kansas, and this design will be
adopted by the State Historical society
of Kansas as its seal. It will be seen
that it is altogether unique, and has
genuine historical value. Judge

have made wood engraving of these

of them in some future report, since all
the people will be glad to see them
